Jawanna Dean

Jawanna Dean is a systems reformer and civil rights architect focused on economic legitimacy and housing justice. She is the founder of Jawanna Dean Consulting, LLC, and the originator of the civil doctrines the One Key Strategy and Reparations for All, which seek the lawful restoration of human value within modern financial systems.

Dean rejects the idea that poverty is a moral failure, identifying it instead as the predictable result of policy design and market architecture. Through her flagship doctrine, the One Key Strategy, she advances the principle of economic reversion: the right of individuals to exit, nullify, or return obligations when systems become extractive, coercive, or illegitimate. Central to her work is the reclassification of housing as survival infrastructure rather than a profit-centered financial instrument.

Reparations for All extends this logic into a universal civil doctrine of repair. Rather than limiting justice to symbolic measures or demographic categories, it treats systemic harm as cumulative, structural, and intergenerational, emphasizing restoration through continuity, capacity, and lawful reintegration.

Dean operates independently of political parties, corporate sponsorships, and financial institutions. Her work provides conceptual tools that enable individuals and communities to reclaim agency, recognize structural coercion, and restore legitimacy to economic life.
